Shopping list, the meal came mostly from the internet.
Thursday the week before Gunn decided to have a competition that is on here in Sweden every week called "Halv åtta hos mig" which means "seven thirty home with me" home at our house. The way this competition works is there are four people and each of them host the other three for a dinner night and at the end of the night the three who were invited give the host points, from one to ten. This program airs Monday to Thursday at seven thirty in the evening and then on friday they reveal the winner and give them 8,000 Swedish krowns! It is a very exciting little program and so we did it at home just for fun. The only criteria was to have a three course meal and so that's what I did! I had dinner on Monday, Caisa and Ronja had Tuesday, Gunn had Thursday and Tommy had Friday. I decided to do a Mexican theme, for a starter I did quesadillas, chips and a bean dip chip thing with home made salsa. Main course was fish tacos just the ay mom does them, except for the fish, I did it with luttfisk which was kind of weird, apparently luttfisk is a Christmas fish for a special dish that you only make at Christmas time, it is weird so it didn't work out totally great but it still tasted ok. For dessert I made soe tortilla roll things that I have made in the US before, it all worked out ok but not totally great, I think it was the first time I had ever made a complete meal by myself and it was really fun! I had to make a menu, buy all the food and cook it myself, I am glad that Gunn decided to make this competition happen! The dinner went over pretty good and directly after I went into town to play videogames with my friends all night! Great day to be alive!
P.S. I forgot to mention that this day I went two different Rotary clubs. I decided to try and go to all the Rotary meetings in the break week! I went to one that met at a hotel in the morning, 7:30am to be exact they were really nice and I enjoyed the meeting, it was infact the first time I had been "out" for breakfast in Sweden, they don't really do that here! I went to a lunch meeting at twelve in the normal place that I go for my meetings, they were nice people too!
